Mostly watching House of Cards and The Returned. Both are entertaining enough. The former is definitely kept afloat by excellent casting. Nice to see Gerald McRaney and Molly Parker join up in season two, which I'm about halfway through.

Ahahahaha. Oh, Paget, you so crazy.

I hate this estate.

I'm of the opinion that D4 was equally, if not more of an influence, on the punk sound in the past ten-fifteen years.

Good move. She is damned talented and, yes, very good-looking.

And, as mentioned, people abbreviated the name to AJJ for years anyhow. I certainly did.

I could never get into the Struts. When I think of Midwestern Punk Anthems from the past ten-fifteen years I usually think of Dillinger Four. These days: The Brokedowns (see: "Coke Mule Blues".)

Joyce is gonna be pissed if he writes himself into this one.

She's great in her limited screentime on Love.

I'd watch it for a couple bucks. With cigarette breaks.

Hey, now. He's Kenyan Nazi.
